NEWARK, NJ — There’s a new way to get around in Newark: FlixBus.

On Thursday, the company announced the debut of intercity bus service in Newark for the first time in its history. According to a news release from FlixBus:

“FlixBus’s new Newark stop is located at 1 Raymond Plaza W, just steps away from Newark Penn Station which provides connections to New Jersey Transit’s network of destinations including New York City and points south, connections to Newark Liberty International Airport and AirTrain service, ride sharing and taxi service and a convenient location from Newark’s Prudential Center and downtown areas.”
